Nistha Tripathi
• When I was an engineer, I thought that I could never manage to study in USA, I am from a middle-class family. Thank God, I did not give up.
• I went to Top 10 schools in USA for my MS and MBA • I earned $100K+ seven years ago • In last one year, I have helped 50+ students go to Top 40 universities
in USA.
So, I know that studying abroad is for anyone and everyone. Many students have built a successful career by studying abroad and so can YOU.

Intro example
“From programming cells of an excel sheet with math formulas in my fourth grade to building a security plugin for Mozilla Firefox considering the current threats to privacy and security on Internet, I have realized that problem solving is what excites me. After a year and a half as an Application Developer in Risk Technology at JP Morgan Chase, I have found my passion in improving the way Information is used in businesses. Therefore, I wish to return to school to pursue a Master's degree in Computer Science that will allow me to explore the subject in greater depth, particularly the fields of Data Mining, Database and Software Engineering, and use it effectively to address real-world challenges.”
He knows about his field Solid background and proficiency Clear goals

Showing Personal Side“With my father’s illness and added responsibilities at home, my academic performance in second year suffered a lot and my GPA took a plunge. However, it only made me more motivated to work harder and restore my confidence. With extra hours and renewed focus, I was able to restore my GPA to a more respectable figure. While it is way below what I feel I am capable of, I am proud that I could take care of my family when needed and still manage three B’s in that semester.”
• Turns shortcomings into strengths • Shows that anyone can stumble but its important to note that
you got back up and learned your lesson/did best under the situation
• Shows courage of talking about your weak points

would be better equipped than majority of the applicants out there!

SOP Mistakes▪ Rehashing the resume
▪ “I have CCNA and CCNP certifications in most of the fields to serve as a proof for my knowledge in these fields”
▪ “For instance, in my math class, I found myself getting frustrated with my calculator because it could not handle matrices with complex numbers. I took the matter into my hands and wrote a java program to find the determinant of a matrix involving complex numbers, which would run on my mobile phone. It worked well, and this was just the beginning of bigger things for the next three years.”
▪ Hollow claims – SHOW, don’t TELL ▪ Don’t say you are passionate, show what you did ▪ “As it is evident, my academic qualifications in the field of networking are
exceptional.” ▪ “During the internship, I faced a crunch situation while designing a Cost-
effective Power Generation Unit. Since factors such as time to procure and implement the solution were not considered by me before designing the circuit, the entire complexion of the solution got changed - which taught me my first lesson in engineering management.”

SOP Mistakes continued…▪ Lack of confidence
▪ “I wish to return to academic study to build on my learnings from undergraduate school particularly in the fields of Theory of computation and Network Security so that I may be able to provide more effective produce in academia or industry.”
▪ Discounting your failures ▪ Don’t ignore weaknesses in your application, tell me why they don’t
define your capability ▪ “My GRE exam happened to coincide with a big project release at my
work. The professional in me could not let my work suffer and unfortunately in the process, I had to compromise with my GRE preparation. Without seeking an excuse, I can only request the admissions committee to not judge my candidacy by my GRE score alone.”
▪ Cheesy cliches and generalisations ▪ “I hope to apply the knowledge I gain, back in India, if required with
suitable adaptation, to alleviate globally pervasive problems.”

What is a LOR?Place where a third person can confirm that you deserve to be admitted!
A good LOR is one that validates your candidacy by sounding genuine, vouching for your ability to excel at your target program and coming from someone who is credible.

Right person to get LOR from?1. Credible
– Universally known (some internationally renowned person or someone with very notable achievement)
– Very senior e.g. HOD – Has great background (PhD, studied from a
wellknown place etc)
TIP: people at higher positions are expected to connect with more number of students and therefore their evaluation can be more trustworthy
20
![Page 21: Secrets behind successful SOP and LORsscholarstrategy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/SOP-LOR... · 2017. 4. 2. · Components of an effective SOP 1. Background and Aspirations a)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060917/60aa5555a929f7161f5afeb4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Right person to get LOR from?
2. Someone you worked closely with – Who has spent enough time with you to be
able to comment on your abilities genuinely! (your project guide, team leader, Professor etc)
TIP: don’t choose to get LOR from Dean of your college if you haven’t worked closely with him because he won’t have really good things to say about you!
21

Right person to get LOR from?
3. Project Manager/Lead at work (Fulltime or Internship) – For people with any kind of professional
experience outside college
TIP: adds a new dimension to your profile by commenting on your ability to work in a professional environment

3 LORs2 Academic + 1 Professional (if you have any interesting internship/fulltime work experience) else another Academic one

For MIS/MEM• At least ONE PROFESSIONAL LOR should be
there
24
![Page 25: Secrets behind successful SOP and LORsscholarstrategy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/SOP-LOR... · 2017. 4. 2. · Components of an effective SOP 1. Background and Aspirations a)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060917/60aa5555a929f7161f5afeb4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Writing the actual LORs• Senior Professors, Managers can do it
themselves – Help them by giving them a brief summary of
what things you want them to cover in the LORs • Your achievements under them • Your characteristics that you would like
highlighted
• Some might ask you to draft
25
![Page 26: Secrets behind successful SOP and LORsscholarstrategy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/SOP-LOR... · 2017. 4. 2. · Components of an effective SOP 1. Background and Aspirations a)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060917/60aa5555a929f7161f5afeb4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
When drafting the LORs yourself
• Don’t overpraise yourself! Be realistic • Write subtly and formally as a
recommender would write • Vary your language slightly for each LOR
so that it doesn’t seem that same person has written 3 LORs! You might try to ask your friends to write these
26
![Page 27: Secrets behind successful SOP and LORsscholarstrategy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/SOP-LOR... · 2017. 4. 2. · Components of an effective SOP 1. Background and Aspirations a)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060917/60aa5555a929f7161f5afeb4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Follow up with your recommenders
• Remind them of your accomplishments • Brief them on your work and what/where you
are applying to • Provide them with written descriptions of
projects that they can use in their letters directly
• Follow up politely so that the process gets done on time (remember they are busy people)

Why Scholar Strategy?
• Lack of genuine advice in the market – No good university has tie ups with counselors!
• Personal experience – Have done it myself – twice at TOP universities – Admission committee insights
• Better resources and connections – Network of students and professionals in US
and UK

Our approach• We do a detailed call to craft student’s
story and then formulate strategy for SOP and LORs
• NEVER use templates! Each application should be unique

SOP evolution (Before)“My long and enjoyable interaction with computer science goes back to my fourth grade vocational course, when I applied math formulae to cells of an excel sheet. Programming since has had my interest and my motivation to choose to computer science as my major. After a year and a half as an Application Developer in Java and ETL logic at JP Morgan Chase, I wish to return to academic study to build on my learnings from undergraduate school particularly in the fields of Theory of computation and Network Security so that I may be able to provide more effective produce in academia or industry.”
